Enterprise Portal - SAP NetWeaver 7.0 Including EhP 1 SR 1 Java

Hello,

we are going to upgrade our Enterprise Portal (only java stack) - from "SAP NW7.0 SPS12" to "SAP EHP1 Netweaver 7.0, SPS 6" (current SPS).

I'm now in the planning phase. So i have some questions regarding the SAP releases. Can anybody help me?

1. Is this only a Support Package Maintenance oder a Upgrade?

2. I guess a Upgrade, because of the EhP1 - so i detected the following guides:

Upgrade Master Guide - SAP NetWeaver® 7.0

Upgrade Guide - SAP NetWeaver 7.0 Including Enhancement Package 1 Support Release 1 Java

Are these the correct Guides?

3. What about SR1? Which Support Package Stack is the equivalence?

4. Have anybody experiences about the upgrade? How long is the downtime phase approximately?

Thanks a lot,

Regards

Hello,

thanks to all replys. After we updated our EP DEV system successfully, here the right answers for completeness.

1. SAP called it updating! An "update EHP" is not a Upgrade or Support Package Maintenance, it's between both.

2. The correct guide:

http://service.sap.com/instguidesNW70 > SAP NetWeaver 7.0 (2004s) > Maintenance

At the bottom "Update EHP" - Enhancement Package Installation on Existing SAP Systems

SAP Enhancement Package Installation on Java Systems (using SAPehpi)

3. You need the following software:

> SAP EHP Installer

http://service.sap.com/swdc

Download Support Packages and Patches > Entry by Application Group > Additional Components > Upgrade Tools > SAP EHP Installer > SAP EHP Installer 7.00

> SPS (EHP1 SPS06)

https://websmp103.sap-ag.de/sp-stacks

SAP NetWeaver 7.0 > choose Target Stack

4. Our EP DEV system, without BI usage type, had a downtime from 4 hours.

Hi,

1. Is this only a Support Package Maintenance oder a Upgrade?

Its little bit more than support package upgrade.

2. I guess a Upgrade, because of the EhP1 - so i detected the following guides:

Upgrade Master Guide - SAP NetWeaver® 7.0

Upgrade Guide - SAP NetWeaver 7.0 Including Enhancement Package 1 Support Release 1 Java

> Are these the correct Guides?

Yes, these are the correct guides.

3. What about SR1? Which Support Package Stack is the equivalence?

This SP3 of EHP1.

4. Have anybody experiences about the upgrade? How long is the downtime phase approximately?

Downtime depends upon a number of factors like hardware configuration, RAM etc.

Thanks

Hi Matthias,

Although the procedure may feel like an upgrade, the application of an EhP is considered a maintenance activity -- like applying a SP but a bit more ;-).

The guides may be found at http://service.sap.com/instguides -> Installation & Upgrade Guides -> SAP NetWeaver -> SAP NetWeaver 7.0 (2004s) -> Maintenance -> EHP1 SPS(current SPS).

Best Regards,

Matt
